Thesis statement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The thesis statement states the thesis or argument of the author in an essay or similar document. Usually no less than five sentences or six long, it is a focused section of text that clearly delineates the argument that is presented in the work and is usually found at the end of the first paragraph of a paper. The thesis statement says what the author or authors are trying to prove in the document from each idea that they will cover in their paper. This makes for a convoluted thesis statement which is most likely a run-on sentence.
